Resolution Limits by Subscription Tier

Your subscription tier determines the maximum width and height available for image and video generation across all Magic Hour APIs.

How Resolution Limits Work

Tier-Limited APIs

For most APIs that respect subscription limits:
  • Automatic sizing determines optimal resolution based on your tier
  • Manual sizing must stay within your tier’s maximum dimension
  • Both width and height must be ≤ your tier limit
  • Invalid dimensions will return an error with suggested alternatives

Hard-Capped APIs

For compute-intensive video APIs:
  • Maximum resolution enforced regardless of subscription tier
  • Performance optimization - caps ensure reasonable processing times
  • Specific limits:
    • AI Headshot Generator: 1344px maximum dimension
    • AI Clothes Changer: 1472px maximum dimension
    • AI Talking Photo: 720p (1280x720)
    • Text to Video: 1080p (1920x1080)
    • Image to Video: 1080p (1920x1080)
    • Video to Video: 1472px maximum dimension
    • Animation: 1472px maximum dimension

Special Requirements

Some video generation APIs have additional constraints:

64-Pixel Increment Requirement

These APIs require both width and height to be divisible by 64:
  • Video-to-Video API - Both dimensions must be multiples of 64
  • Other video APIs may have similar requirements (check individual API docs)
Examples of valid 64-divisible dimensions:
  • 512x512, 576x576, 640x640, 704x704, 768x768
  • 1024x576, 1024x640, 1024x704, 1024x768
  • 1472x832, 1472x896, 1472x960

Examples by Tier

Valid dimensions:
  • 512x512 (square)
  • 640x480 (4:3 ratio)
  • 720x360 (2:1 ratio)
Invalid dimensions:
  • 1024x256 ❌ (width exceeds 512px limit)
  • 600x600 ❌ (both dimensions exceed 512px limit)

API-Specific Resolution Behavior

Different APIs handle resolution limits in different ways:

Tier-Limited APIs

These APIs respect your subscription’s resolution limits: Image APIs:
  • AI Image Generator
  • AI Image Upscaler
  • Face Swap Photo
Video APIs:
  • Face Swap Video
  • Lip Sync

Hard-Capped APIs

These APIs have maximum resolution limits regardless of subscription tier: Image APIs:
  • AI Headshot Generator - Maximum 1344px across all tiers
  • AI Clothes Changer - Maximum 1472px across all tiers
Video APIs:
  • AI Talking Photo - Maximum 720p (1280x720) across all tiers
  • Text to Video (T2V) - Maximum 1080p (1920x1080) across all tiers
  • Image to Video (I2V) - Maximum 1080p (1920x1080) across all tiers
  • Video to Video - Maximum 1472px across all tiers
  • Animation - Maximum 1472px across all tiers
Hard Caps Override Tiers: Even Business tier subscribers cannot exceed the hard caps listed above. These limits are set for performance and computational efficiency.

Upgrading for Higher Resolution

Need higher resolution? Upgrade your subscription to unlock:
  • Creator: 2x larger dimensions (1024px vs 512px)
  • Pro: 3x larger dimensions (1472px vs 512px)
  • Business: 8x larger dimensions (4096px vs 512px), supports true 4K
